INTRODUCTION

Barrett Communications had a handsome display of its 4050 (left) and 4090 (right) high frequency radios on the company’s stand at this year’s DSEI exhibition.

the show did go on by Thomas Withington The past 18 months saw an understandable dearth of defence exhibitions. Thus, it was with bated breath that the defence community awaited the 2021 Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition. eld in London betwixt 14th and 17th September, the show had an abundance of tactical radio purveyors. Arriving in droves to exhibit their wares, several kindly updated Armada on product and programme developments. US land tactical communications acquisitions continue to dominate the sector alongside evolutions of other leading programmes in Europe. Discussions focused on the US Army’s HMS (Handheld, Manpack, Small Form Factor) project. HMS procures handheld and backpack radios to equip the army’s manoeuvre force. These transceivers will carry the army’s legacy Single Channel Ground Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS). They will also carry TrellisWare’s TSM Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking (MANET) waveform. Several companies exhibiting at DSEI told Armada that TSM replaces the army’s abortive Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW). The SRW was intended to equip both the handheld and backpack radios. Shortcomings in performance sees the SRW being replaced by TSM. The Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) also looks likely to be replaced, most probably by a TSM incarnation.

HMS Three radios comprise the ‘H’ element of HMS; the Rifleman Radio (RR), Leader Radio (LR) and Single-Channel Data Radio (SCDR). As its name suggests, dismounted troops at the lowest echelon will use the single-channel RR. The two-channel LR will be used by squad, platoon and team leaders. One channel connects them with their troops, the second connects them with higher echelons. The backpack radio also has two channels. These latter radios also carry TSM alongside Satellite Communications (SATCOM) waveforms like the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS). Along with equipping dismounted troops, the backpack radio equips vehicles. The HMS programme has procured a bewildering array of radios. General Dynamics was tasked with the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) of the AN/PRC-154A/C RR equipped as it was with SRW. Thales was tasked with the LR LRIP of the two-channel AN/PRC148C(V)6. L3Harris was also involved with the LR LRIP, providing the two-channel AN/ PRC-163(V)2. Both this radio and the AN/ PRC-148C(V)6 carry the SINCGARS and TSM waveforms. Three distinct backpack radios are

being procured to satisfy the ‘M’ dimension of HMS. General Dynamics was tasked with the LRIP of the first-generation AN/PRC-155 two-channel system. L3Harris and Collins Aerospace, meanwhile, performed the LRIP of the second-generation backpack radios. They are respectively providing their AN/PRC158 and AN/PRC-162 transceivers. All three are outfitted with the TSM and SINCGARS waveforms in addition to SATCOM waveforms like MUOS. The SCDR is being procured in support of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). This US Army programme will provide soldiers with headsets hosting several capabilities to improve their vision. This includes augmentations like three-dimensional maps, multi-spectral imaging and weapons sights. The SCDR will carry data between soldiers equipped with the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK). The TAK, in turn, is a map-based software application supporting collaborative combat. TrellisWare’s newly-launched TSM Spirit Very/Ultra High Frequency (V/UHF: 30 megahertz/MHz to three gigahertz) radio is one SCDR candidate. This is alongside offerings from Silvus and Domo Tactical 2021 Tactical Radios Compendium

INTRODUCTION Communications (DTC). The TSM Spirit is also being touted by the company as a singlechannel squad radio. Tactical radio vendors in North America and beyond are now eagerly awaiting the release of HMS’ Full Rate Production contracts. Moving across the Atlantic, Europe is abuzz with tactical radio programmes as several nations roll out new capabilities across their armies. A bewildering assortment of programme monikers characterise this trend: The United Kingdom’s Project Morpheus joins France’s Contact. German’s SVFUA (Joint Combined Radio System) dances with the Netherland’s Foxtrot. Belgium, meanwhile, moves ahead with its TLCP (Tactical Land Communications Programme) undertaking. Morpheus Morpheus is an overarching modernisation of the UK’s Bowman combined communications and battle management system. At the heart of the Morpheus architecture is the so-called ‘Evolve to Open’ (EVO) approach. EVO employs the existing Bowman Combat Infrastructure-5.6 (BCIP-5.6) standard. BCIP5.6 was a modernisation of the Bowman architecture fielded with the British Army and Royal Marines from 2015. At the core of EVO is evolving the BCIP5.6 architecture into an open configuration. The goal is to ensure that new systems and capabilities can be easily added to the architecture over time. General Dynamics is leading the EVO undertaking following the award of a contract in 2017. This was scheduled for completion in 2021. Sources close to Morpheus speaking to Armada at DSEI revealed that delays have now forced an extension of EVO into 2022 at the earliest. Outside Morpheus, but an equally important aspect of the British Army’s communications modernisation, is the Trinity programme. Trinity will replace the force’s Falcon trunk voice, data and imagery radio system. During DSEI officials from Ultra told Armada that the firm was proposing its Orion radio for the Trinity programme. They added that this radio is already providing trunk communications for the US Army. The company is currently halfway through providing around 700 Orion transceivers to the force. Contact and Synaps Across La Manche (the Channel), Thales has commenced production of its Contact tactical radios for the French armed forces. The company was awarded the Contact contract by the French government in 2012. Official

04

documents say that around 25,000 Contact radios will be supplied to all three French armed services. Armada was told by Thales officials that development of Contact land tactical radios is now complete. Development of the airborne Contact radios is ongoing. Thales has spun out a version of the Contact radio family called Synaps. Armada understands that these radios are similar to the Contact radio sans French communications/ transmission security protocols and waveforms. The Belgian government ordered Synaps in December 2019. Deliveries commenced just under one year later. Synaps-H V/UHF handheld radios and Synaps-T vehicular radios were delivered to the force and are now in service. Additional capabilities will be rolled out onto the Belgian Synaps radios as these are developed for their Contact brethren. Beyond Synaps/Contact, Thales was also promoting new capabilities for its SquadNet UHF radio at DSEI. Thales’ Web Bridge is a software enhancement for SquadNet. This allows the radio to stream encrypted data onto a combat cloud. This data is carried across thirdgeneration cellular, long-term evolution or wifi wireless networks. Smartphone, computer or tablet users who have downloaded the Web Bridge android software application can then receive this data from the cloud and vice versa. Foxtrot Further north, the Netherlands is moving forward on its Foxtrot programme. This effort is replacing erstwhile transceivers equipping over 200 of its combat vehicles no longer fit for purpose. Reports have stated that new Combat Net Radios will be acquired as replacements. There appears to be no information about the model of radio satisfying this requirement. It is known that the radio modernisation will occur via a series of Spirals. The first, Spiral 0, is worth up to $117 million and will occur between 2020 and 2026. Reports continued that delivery of the new radio will commence in 2023. These will initially be made to the Koninklijke Landmacht (Dutch Army) 43 Mechanised Infantry Brigade. Sources close to Germany’s SVFUA programme have shared with Armada information regarding the Heer (German Army’s) uptake of new radios. This summer the roll out of Rohde and Schwarz’ Soveron-D multiband radio was authorised across the KMW/Rheinmetall Puma infantry fighting vehicle fleet. Importantly, these radios are compatible with legacy transceivers used by the Heer. New Products DSEI also saw new radios promoted at the

show. Codan launched its Sentry-H 6110-MP high frequency (three megahertz to 30MHz) backpack radio. This builds upon the company’s earlier first-generation 6110-MP product. The new radio includes several enhancements like simultaneous voice and data traffic, and frequency-hopping, open standard digital voice communications. The use of smaller and lighter rechargeable lithium-ion batteries gives the radio an all-up weight of four kilograms (eight pounds). This does not compromise the radio’s 23-hour battery life. A company press release states that the Sentry-H 6110MP is “the smallest and lightest HF manpack radio available today.” An optional handset has improved readability in sunlight and is compatible with night vision goggles. The Sentry-H 6110-MP was not the only new radio unveiled by the company. This May, Codan completed its acquisition of DTC. The two firms are preserving their identities but nevertheless shared a stand at DSEI. DTC showcased its new SOL8SDR2x1W-P radio specifically designed for uninhabited platforms. Embedded into the system is the company’s MeshUltra tactical MANET waveform. This offers channel bandwidths of between 1.25MHz to 20MHz. Data rates of up to 87 megabits-persecond are also achievable. DTC’s press release stated that the radio can handle voice, data, audio and imagery traffic. Not to be outdone, Barrett Communications had one of its star performers on their stand namely their PRC-4090 HF radios. The PRC4090 was launched in 2019 at the previous DSEI. Weighing 6.5lb (2.95kg), the firm claims the radio entered the market as “the lightest, military-grade HF transceiver.” The software-defined PRC-4090 has a 24-bit colour touchscreen display, along with an icon interface. This makes the radio so intuitive that even your correspondent could operate it. Other useful features include the option to use Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish language options. Security is also embedded into the PRC-4090 via the radio’s AES-256 and DES-56 encryption. A digital voice mode enhances clarity by reducing background noise. Return to form? DSEI heralded the welcome return of largescale defence exhibitions. While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will continue to cause disruption to some future events, similar big shows may still go ahead. These will no doubt witness new products and programme developments in the tactical communications domain. The next 12 months looks set to be energetic as acquisitions expand, and new products grace the market.

The advent of MDO will herald a huge appetite for data as disparate domains are joined together to unleash tightly coordinated kinetic and electronic effects.

Cater for Data by Thomas Withington The need to deliver data has been the catalyst behind the burst in requirements for software driven tactical communications. bviously, data is the primary concern for the future digital radio space,” notes Chris Barter, Datron World Communications’ vice president of sales and marketing. If there was one event which hallmarked how tactical communications have changed over the last three decades it is the demand for data, as well as voice traffic. During the Cold War, tactical radios were primarily used for voice communications. The digitisation of the battlefield, a process which started during the Persian Gulf War of 1991, shows no signs of abating. If anything the appetite for moving torrents of data around the battlefield at lightspeed will only increase. Innovations like the Tactical Cloud, the Internet of Military Things (IOMT) and Multi-

Domain Operations (MDO) are all data reliant. The Tactical Cloud will bring cloud computing to the battlefield. The cloud will act as a secure environment where troops access software applications and share relevant data. It mirrors the advent of cloud computing in the civilian world but will see higher levels of encryption and cyber security. Meanwhile, the IOMT will network sensors, weapons, personnel, vehicles, platforms and installations across the battlefield. These will share a raft of data between one another. From a soldier’s heart rate and temperature to a vehicle’s fuel state, this information will need to be accessed by those who need it quickly and easily. MDO MDO poses another challenge to tactical radio engineers. A 2021 report by the US Congressional Research Service defines MDO

as providing “commanders numerous options for executing simultaneous and sequential operations using surprise and the rapid continuous integration of capabilities across all domains to present multiple dilemmas to an adversary”. This is “in order to gain physical and psychological advantages and influence and control over the operational environment”. In essence, sea, land, air, space and electromagnetic forces will be fully networked and synchronised to achieve tactical and operational success. The Tactical Cloud, IOMT and MDO will all need wideband Radio Frequency (RF) communications to handle the sheer amount of data all three will bring. It is not enough for these wideband links to simply be present. They will need to be secure and robust in hotly contested electromagnetic environments. The links will need to be supported by agile, self-

Much like MDO, the Internet of Military Things will have a similarly vociferous appetite as soldiers, platforms, sensors, installations and weapons undergo deeper connectivity.

Interoperability 20 years of war in Afghanistan and eight years of war in Iraq underscored that even the US military still relies on allied contributions. For the West and its allies at least, coalition warfare will be the order of the day for the foreseeable future. This creates challenges for the tactical communications domain. Many armies have common waveforms. HAVEQUICK-I/II and SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground-Airborne

forming networks continuously adapting to conditions in the electromagnetic spectrum. The answer to these challenges most probably lies in wideband RF links carried across cognitive radios. These radios will be able to sense and adjust their transmissions and networks to the prevailing spectrum. These wideband links will have to be present at the Forward Edge of the Battle Area (FEBA) at the lowest echelons. Sensors, soldiers and weapons in the FEBA will need these links to send data up the chain of command and to receive all-important updates, intelligence and orders. It is no surprise that Personal Role Radios (PRRs) have for some time possessed waveforms to carry data as well as voice traffic. One can expect that the data capabilities of PRRs will continue to grow in the future. The rollout of wideband links at the FEBA, particularly for weapons and sensors, can only realistically occur via advances in Edge Computing. Edge Computing will see sensors, platforms and weapons processing as much of the data that it has received or is generating as it can. This will ensure that only the most relevant data is shared across the network, ensuring links do not become saturated. Neither is the demand for data confined to US, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) or allied militaries: “Even in developing world markets we are seeing demand for pretty high-speed data rates in the tactical space,” remarks Mr. Barter: “In other words, data is not relegated to the most sophisticated users anymore.”

Radio System) are two notable examples. However, encryption and communications/ transmission security considerations mean it is not always easy for one army to talk to another using these, or other, waveforms. Initiatives like the pan-European ESSOR (European Secure Software Defined Radio) high data rate waveform are a step in the right direction. Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden are all involved in ESSOR. The initiative will yield a common waveform which can be loaded into the transceivers of these nations’ armies permitting truly interoperable communications in the coming years. Mr. Barter stresses the importance of interoperability seeing it as the “key to success”. He believes that this can be assisted through common waveforms and open architectures. Like cognitive radio which senses and adapts to its spectrum, open architecture will play a leading role in future tactical communications. Gone are the days when a radio was delivered with a set number and type of waveforms and encryption. Today’s and tomorrow’s transceivers will have to be ‘future proofed’ from the start: “We currently see innovative and more open architectures receiving attention, instead of a ‘one size fits all’ or single-source approach,” notes a written statement from Rohde and Schwarz. ESSOR is a good case in point. Many of the radios it will equip will not have been delivered with this waveform. Instead, they will receive the waveform as a software update.

Tactical cloud computing will drive a strong demand for wideband RF links for troops to access software applications and mission data.

MMW radio communications show distinct promise on the battlefield and Blu Wireless showcased their millimetric wave technologies at this year’s DSEI exhibition.

Interoperability is a sine qua non for militaries around the world. New waveforms will greatly assist the ability of armies to work closely and securely with one another.

COTS Open architectures will benefit from the strides taken in the civilian computing and telecommunications worlds. The use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technologies is now de rigueur in the military domain. Reliance on COTS will increase particularly as civilian telecommunications technology evolves. The attraction of these technologies to tactical radio engineers are obvious: Using civilian innovations where possible goes a long way to reducing development and procurement costs. We are already seeing the advent of civilian end user devices like smartphones and tablets on the battlefield. Initiatives like the US Army’s Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) provides a means by which these devices can securely access military networks.

Beyond civilian hardware, civilian networks have a role to play. We have already discussed the appetite for RF wideband links as the demand for data expands. Rhode and Schwarz’ statement posits an argument for using nonmilitary networks where appropriate to carry some of this burden. It states that networks like the ubiquitous Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) standard used by European first responders could provide such a utility. Likewise civilian wireless protocols like Long Term Evolution, and forth/fifth generation cellphone standards and the networks they underpin offer similar potential. Military communications systems could be routed “through a trusted, integrated architecture” to access these networks “for routine or mission needs.” Routine data like vehicle fuel consumption or meteorological information

The US Army’s ITN is furnishing troops with a secure network onto which they can connect smartphones, tablets or laptop computers among other end user devices.

could be carried securely across these networks. This would ensure that standard tactical communications networks are not deluged, and continue to support the manoeuvre force’s demand for voice and data traffic. Finally, avantgarde technologies will make their presence felt in the tactical radio domain. DSEI was instructive as it featured emerging tactical communications technologies. For example, Blu Wireless exhibited its Millimetric Wave (MMW) communications technology. MMW radio uses frequencies above 30 gigahertz/GHz. These wavebands are attractive as they provide wideband communications with a very narrow beam. This means they can be used for line-of-sight communications with a physically small antenna. Small antennas are comparatively easy to install on vehicles, and to move around a battlefield for use at static locations. The narrow beams widths characteristic of MMW radio are also difficult to detect and jam. Blu Wireless’ technology uses frequencies of 57GHz to 71GHz. It boasts data rates of one gigabit-per-second/gbps at a one-kilometre (0.6-mile) range. Data rates of 100 megabits-per-second at four kilometres (2.5 miles) are also achievable. Company officials say that the US Army has shown great interest in MMW radio. Drivers Battlefield digitisation and the appetite for data are driving innovation and acquisition in the tactical communications domain. The advent of MDO, the IOMT, the Tactical Cloud and deepening interoperability means that the desire for innovative military communications hardware and software is unlikely to diminish. Fortunately, the continued embrace of COTS and open architecture, alongside the innovations like edge computing, MMW communications and cognitive radio will help meet this demand. 2021 Tactical Radios Compendium
